1:21
Speaker 3: it's going to be sunny in sixty five today. But
1:24
Speaker 3: that's not the case. It's going to continue for the
1:26
Speaker 3: next few days. It looks like we'll get through it somehow.
1:29
Speaker 3: And I will say this, I was, I was leaving
1:31
Speaker 3: for work this morning. I noticed there are a couple
1:33
Speaker 3: of my neighbors were getting new roofs today because we
1:36
Speaker 3: are continuing the cleanup after the hailstorm in Tays Valley
1:40
Speaker 3: a couple of months ago. And I mean those guys
1:43
Speaker 3: were out there starting at about six o'clock this morning,
1:45
Speaker 3: out there on the roofs, trying to get everybody squared
1:48
Speaker 3: away there. And I do know for a fact that
1:50
Speaker 3: one of the companies lost four guys yesterday. When I
1:53
Speaker 3: say they lost them, I don't mean that they that
1:55
Speaker 3: they perished, but they lost four guys because of the
1:58
Speaker 3: heat yesterday. So they're working with with with some a
2:03
Speaker 3: little less numbers today because of that. Now the gays
2:05
Speaker 3: are going to be okay, but they're not really a
2:07
Speaker 3: whole lot. You can do in that situation of them
2:09
Speaker 3: get ivs and I'm giving a little bit of rest.
2:11

Speaker 3: All right, so we got some news earlier this week.
3:12
Speaker 3: Of course, the cleanup continues from the devastating flooding in
3:15
Speaker 3: both Marion and Ohio Counties, and we talked about this
3:19
Speaker 3: on Metro News Midday that some sheriff's departments, a couple
3:22
Speaker 3: of them around the state, had sent some deputies up
3:24
Speaker 3: there to kind of help out, specifically in Ohio County
3:27
Speaker 3: and our own Knawa County Sheriff's department was one of
3:30
Speaker 3: those organizations that sent some troops up there kind of
3:33
Speaker 3: help outs. Chief Deputy Sean snuffers whether it's along with
3:36
Speaker 3: Sheriff Joe Crawford Shriff, we'll start with you, good morning,
3:39
Speaker 3: welcome to the show.
3:40
Speaker 5: Dave, good morning, thanks for having us. We appreciate you
3:42
Speaker 5: bringing us on the show.
3:43
Speaker 3: And a deputy Chief Deputy Snuffer, thank you for being
3:46
Speaker 3: here as well. Thank you Dave for having us. And guys,
3:48
Speaker 3: we'll start with you, Joe. We all saw the pictures
3:51
Speaker 3: and the videos out of both marrying and Ohio Counties.
3:54
Speaker 3: The need is still great for the cleanup, and unfortunately
3:59
Speaker 3: there worse some reports of some other issues up there.
4:02
Speaker 3: Not widespread, but still it's problematic because it's not what
4:05
Speaker 3: we do as West Virginians. We try to take care
4:07
Speaker 3: of each other. But we did have a situation a
4:09
Speaker 3: couple of them in Ohio County. We talked to those
4:12
Speaker 3: officials on the Metro News midday about it that some
4:15
Speaker 3: of the folks, some bad actors had come in. We're
4:17
Speaker 3: doing some looting and some you know, stealing of other items,
4:20
Speaker 3: and so some of the departments up there, I had
4:23
Speaker 3: to ask for a little help, and you guys responded.
4:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, Dave, thanks Under Chapter seven twenty six and six
4:30
Speaker 5: that provides us the vehicle on Avenue to go assist
4:34
Speaker 5: other sheriff's departments throughout the state. So I received notification
4:39
Speaker 5: from the Sheriff Association Chief Sheriff Nelson Croft from Ohio
4:46
Speaker 5: County was a requesting assistance. So when we got the email,
4:50
Speaker 5: I reached out to Sheriff Croft and we started communicating
4:55
Speaker 5: figure out what they needed. You know, I offered, obviously
4:57
Speaker 5: all of our resources that we have here in Kanall County.
5:01
Speaker 5: That's what we do, you know, we try to help
5:03
Speaker 5: take care of each other. So the request was to
5:07
Speaker 5: have manpower to come up and assist with patrols and
5:10
Speaker 5: some of the minor looting that was isolated areas. You know,
5:14
Speaker 5: when we talked, it was on Tuesday the seventeenth, I believe,
5:18
Speaker 5: and they were still in active response mode. They were
5:22
Speaker 5: still in the search and rescue mode when we talked,
5:29
Speaker 5: which transitioned later in the week to more of a
5:31
Speaker 5: recovery effort. But that's kind of how we got you know,
5:35
Speaker 5: got involved, and we reached out and we sent four
5:38
Speaker 5: of our uh four of our deputies to that location.
5:41
Speaker 5: They were up there Thursday, Friday, and Saturday and came
5:44
Speaker 5: home Sunday afternoon. Other agency, other sheriff's agencies also they
5:50
Speaker 5: were you know, took a little bit of planning on
5:52
Speaker 5: their part to kind of spread it out to where
5:54
Speaker 5: they had enough coverage. Basically, what we did was covered
5:56
Speaker 5: the night shift twelve hours. So we offered all of
6:00
Speaker 5: our resources.
6:01
Speaker 6: You know, we have dive team, we.
6:04
Speaker 5: Had side besides whatever they needed we made, you know,
6:07
Speaker 5: we offer that to them. But uh, you know, I
6:11
Speaker 5: want to say this, you know, let's still continue to
6:14
Speaker 5: keep uh, you know high in Marion Counties in our
6:16
Speaker 5: thoughts and prayers. Uh, they're still it's a long recovery
6:20
Speaker 5: process and those people still a matter of fact, as
6:23
Speaker 5: of this week, they still have other sheriff's agencies that
6:26
Speaker 5: are sending people up there to sist with them with them.
6:29
Speaker 3: And I think, guys, what we sometimes forgetting of, Mister Snuffer,
6:35
Speaker 3: I ask you to weigh in on this. What we
6:36
Speaker 3: forget is with our first responders out there, is that
6:39
Speaker 3: they're also dealing with situations at their own homes. I
6:42
Speaker 3: mean you look at the Tri Delphia Fire Department outside
6:45
Speaker 3: Wheeling up there in Ohio County. I mean their actual
6:47
Speaker 3: fire department was flooded, the actual physical building. And we sometimes,
6:53
Speaker 3: I think, whenever there is a disaster, and we've seen
6:54
Speaker 3: it here in Kanaw County of course as well, we
6:57
Speaker 3: forget that these these people, these are people with lives
7:00
Speaker 3: and with families and with loved ones and with structures
7:02
Speaker 3: and so on and so forth. Sometimes they're trying to
7:06
Speaker 3: clean up their own home.
7:08
Speaker 7: Yeah, we dealt with that here in twenty sixteen when
7:10
Speaker 7: we had the flooding Clinton and Oakie area, several of
7:14
Speaker 7: our deputies lived there, they dealt with the same impact.
7:18
Speaker 7: Their homes were destroyed. Several emergency responders and married in
7:24
Speaker 7: Ohio Keanty, they were dealing with the same thing. You know,
7:27
Speaker 7: our guys stepped up. They we asked for volunteers. We
7:32
Speaker 7: got four volunteers. Immediately we began planning how we could
7:36
Speaker 7: help them. We got in touch with Sheriff Croft, immediately
7:40
Speaker 7: sent people to the area and they met with Sheriff
7:43
Speaker 7: Croft and got to sign their respective areas and started
7:46
Speaker 7: helping those first responders up there.
7:48
Speaker 3: So anything we could do we did. So how does
7:50
Speaker 3: that work? I mean, I mean, you show up in
7:52
Speaker 3: your I mean, I guess I'm just kind of curious
7:54
Speaker 3: about do you show up in our own cruisers from
7:57
Speaker 3: camaw do you use theirs? Absolutely work.
8:00
Speaker 5: Those are good questions, you know, they're they're logistical questions,
8:03
Speaker 5: you know, operational questions. And and we sent our you know,
8:06
Speaker 5: we sent our vehicles. They were marked with Knall County Sheriff.
8:09
Speaker 5: You know a lot of the Sheriff's vehicles look same,
8:11
Speaker 5: similar in nature anyway, So uh so they took their
8:16
Speaker 5: you know, they took their own vehicles, and we made
8:18
Speaker 5: sure that they had supplies to for them to maintain
8:21
Speaker 5: what they needed personally. They had already made arrangements for lodging, meals, fuel.
8:29
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of times, a lot of these
8:31
Speaker 5: things you don't think, uh think about from a general
8:36
Speaker 5: public perspective, But there's a lot of planning and a
8:39
Speaker 5: lot of resources that go into making sure that when
8:43
Speaker 5: we send those we won't make sure that our people
8:45
Speaker 5: are are taking care of themself sufficient as well.
8:48
Speaker 3: And I've always when I when I hear that these stories,
8:50
Speaker 3: I always think, course, GPS, I guess makes it a
8:52
Speaker 3: whole lot easier right now. But you know, you're asking
8:54
Speaker 3: these folks, uh, which they willingly did? They used that
8:57
Speaker 3: he had wore volunteers to go into an area that
8:59
Speaker 3: they don't know. Well, I mean it would be like,
9:00
Speaker 3: you know, people from Ohio County coming down here. So
9:03
Speaker 3: it's a quick learn it's a quick learning process for
9:06
Speaker 3: those deputies to have to come in and Okay, well
9:08
Speaker 3: we got to go out on Brown's run. Well you
9:10
Speaker 3: know exactly where's Brown's run. Well, it's up with the
9:12
Speaker 3: old trailer, is okay. Well, you know, you know these
9:15
Speaker 3: little nuances when you cover these things, and so there's
9:18
Speaker 3: a quick turnaround for them to learn these things.
9:20
Speaker 2: It is.
9:22
Speaker 3: It is a difficult task forming go up there.
9:24
Speaker 7: They don't know the people, they don't know their problem people,
9:28
Speaker 7: so to speak, like they would hear in Kennall County.
9:31
Speaker 7: They don't know if those people are supposed to be
9:32
Speaker 7: in the area that they're in. So they they had
9:36
Speaker 7: to stop pretty much everybody there and if they weren't
9:38
Speaker 7: from the area, they they had them leave. GPS is
9:41
Speaker 7: a key factor we have in car computers, GPS in
9:45
Speaker 7: our cars, and it helped them out a lot, because
9:47
Speaker 7: you're right, they don't know the area, they don't know
9:49
Speaker 7: the people there, so it was a little bit of
9:52
Speaker 7: a hiccup for them, but uh, you know, they dealt
9:54
Speaker 7: with it.
9:54
Speaker 3: They expected that we well, they're professionals. Yeah, and I'm sure,
9:59
Speaker 3: I'm sure it didn't take them too long to get
10:00
Speaker 3: figured out how wide spread sheriff was the problem with
10:04
Speaker 3: looting up there. What'd you guys say?
10:05
Speaker 2: It was?
10:06
Speaker 5: It was in isolated areas, but they did have it,
10:09
Speaker 5: and those were the area they concentrated in and obviously
10:13
Speaker 5: anybody that was out. I don't know if there was
10:17
Speaker 5: actually a curfew put in. I don't believe there was,
10:20
Speaker 5: but basically they were. They went up there and met
10:23
Speaker 5: with those they had contacts there within the Sheriff's office
10:27
Speaker 5: during during their shifts. Whatever they needed, we could contact
10:32
Speaker 5: someone from their command staff as well to make sure
10:37
Speaker 5: if we had any questions or whatever. They were very accommodating,
10:40
Speaker 5: you know, it was a smooth, smooth operation. Like I said,
10:45
Speaker 5: they the lodging the fuel. You know, there was maybe
10:50
Speaker 5: a little issue with some of the fuel, but we
10:52
Speaker 5: sent them with gas cars basically fuel cars to make
10:55
Speaker 5: sure that they had everything that they needed. But all
10:59
Speaker 5: in all, I mean, when you got the grand scheme
11:00
Speaker 5: of things, it went very well well.
11:03
Speaker 3: And I think in talking and we've spent a lot
11:05
Speaker 3: of time at Metro News Midday talking with those folks
11:07
Speaker 3: up there. They I've got to know Stacy r Stacy Steven,
11:11
Speaker 3: I should say, with the United Way up there, and
11:14
Speaker 3: she's just talked about the outpouring support that's come, not
11:16
Speaker 3: only in this respect, but I mean fire departments sent
11:18
Speaker 3: up new trucks and an auto dealership in that area
11:22
Speaker 3: donated a new pickup truck just because they needed that
11:24
Speaker 3: to help in the hall supplies. That's what West Virginians do.
11:27
Speaker 3: And I'd like to try to focus more on that,
11:30
Speaker 3: but you do have these isolated and what made it
11:32
Speaker 3: even more sad was from what I was told by
11:35
Speaker 3: my contacts up there, is that those isolated issues was
11:38
Speaker 3: the local people. It wasn't necessarily because there was a
11:41
Speaker 3: lot of talks as well. These people are coming out
11:43
Speaker 3: of Pennsylvania and whatever turned out it was. I mean,
11:45
Speaker 3: from what I understand, it was primarily local people that
11:48
Speaker 3: were doing that, but it was very small in nature.
11:51
Speaker 3: The most most West Virginians are the first ones to
11:54
Speaker 3: show up to help and what can we do? And
11:58
Speaker 3: we saw that in this situation, and we're not unfamiliar
12:00
Speaker 3: with that. As you alluded to. In twenty sixteen, we
12:02
Speaker 3: had that same situation here in Kanawha County, and other
12:05
Speaker 3: areas that had no ties necessarily to Kana County helped
12:08
Speaker 3: us out as well.
12:09
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right. West Virginians.
12:11
Speaker 7: Most of us are generous, we're kind, we want to
12:13
Speaker 7: help help each other, We're there for each other. Historically
12:17
Speaker 7: that's the way it's been. But you do have a
12:19
Speaker 7: few bad actors. They're generally from the area that do this.
12:23
Speaker 7: What we've seen when it happened here was the same
12:25
Speaker 7: thing it was generally the people here that were doing
12:28
Speaker 7: the bad acting. We didn't have a lot of people
12:30
Speaker 7: coming from out of state. Speaking with our guys that
12:33
Speaker 7: were up there, they had the same thing.
12:35
Speaker 6: It was locals.
12:37
Speaker 7: They were into stuff they shouldn't have been into, and
12:40
Speaker 7: you know, we were there just to prevent it, stop it.
12:43
Speaker 7: And when law enforcement action was taken up there, you know,
12:46
Speaker 7: as the sheriff said, we contacted their command staff and
12:50
Speaker 7: somebody came down and handled the paperwork and they arrest.
12:54
Speaker 3: Hats off to the folks that volunteer, and hats off
12:56
Speaker 3: to you guys for allowing that to have. And before
13:00
Speaker 3: I let you go, because I know you guys got
13:01
Speaker 3: a heart out. As we say in the radio busin
13:03
Speaker 3: we's got a meeting to get to. I do want
13:05
Speaker 3: to ask you what the temperatures going up? Crime normally
13:08
Speaker 3: goes up as well because out of people maybe tempers
13:10
Speaker 3: are a little bit on edge or whatever. What are
13:12
Speaker 3: you seeing out there?
13:13
Speaker 5: You hit the nail on the head. Our callboy tens appears,
13:18
Speaker 5: you know, to go up during during the hot summer
13:21
Speaker 5: months anyway. So yeah, I mean, we're making sure our
13:26
Speaker 5: staffing levels are where they need to be. So absolutely,
13:30
Speaker 5: I think you hit the on the head. About when
13:32
Speaker 5: when the temperatures rise, so does tempers flare and you
13:36
Speaker 5: see a lot more maybe domestic calls or whatever. But
13:40
Speaker 5: I think I think you hit it pretty much.
13:42
Speaker 3: Spot the commercial says you're not yourself when you're hungry,
13:45
Speaker 3: it's also when you're hot, you're also not yourself as well. Hey,
13:48
Speaker 3: final thirty seconds, I do want to ask you. Fourth
13:50
Speaker 3: of July is coming up next week and a lot
13:52
Speaker 3: of people will be out on the road and sometimes
13:54
Speaker 3: we go to the barbecues and the fireworks and we
13:57
Speaker 3: tip back a few too many. It happens. You guys
14:00
Speaker 3: get extra patrols out there.
14:01
Speaker 5: I'm imagining absolutely, well, we'll have extra patrols out during
14:04
Speaker 5: the Fourth of July holidays, and we'll also be a
14:07
Speaker 5: system with Regatta. So, uh, we've got a busy couple
14:09
Speaker 5: of weeks ahead of us. So were looking to the challenge.
14:13
Speaker 5: You know, obviously that's what we do. And I think
14:15
Speaker 5: you know, you hit the nail on the head.
14:16
Speaker 9: Two.
14:17
Speaker 5: Dave to say that West Virginia's are different, and that's
14:20
Speaker 5: why I love West Virginia.
14:23
Speaker 6: We are different.
14:24
Speaker 5: We take care of each other and we step up
14:25
Speaker 5: when we need step up and take care. You know,
14:28
Speaker 5: I go back to what happened down in, uh, you know,
14:31
Speaker 5: in McDowell County, and that's that hadn't been too long ago,
14:35
Speaker 5: and they're still they're still recovering from it. So you know,
14:37
Speaker 5: I also want to maybe keep those people down there
14:40
Speaker 5: in our thoughts and prayers as well.

16:02
Speaker 11: what is the value of my case? The answer, of course,
16:05
Speaker 11: depends on your injuries, liability and the damage is to
16:08

17:51
Speaker 3: with us. Mister Brady, good morning, Welcome to the show.
17:53
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me, Dave. Always a pleasure to be
17:55
Speaker 6: here with you.
17:56
Speaker 2: Man.
17:56
Speaker 3: It's always interesting when you know. I just had Joe
17:59
Speaker 3: cars offered the sheriff and Chief daputy in a way
18:01
Speaker 3: out and I stepped out during the the at the
18:05
Speaker 3: commercial break there and I said, Tim, come in. The
18:06
Speaker 3: first thing you're agreeted with his police officer.
18:08
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, you know, but I don't have the cuffs
18:13
Speaker 6: on and I don't anticipate wearing the orange jumpsuit later today,
18:15
Speaker 6: So I think I'm okay, all right, you're good for today.
18:17
Speaker 3: I'm good anyway.
18:18
Speaker 6: We've actually never met Sheriff Crawford person to person, so
18:22
Speaker 6: and they help us out with some of our events
18:23
Speaker 6: at the CVB, So it was nice for me to
18:25
Speaker 6: run into him in the hallway and just extend a
18:27
Speaker 6: hand and say thank you. You know, they Sheriff's deputies
18:30
Speaker 6: played a role in helping us with security at state
18:31
Speaker 6: high school football championships. Certainly they had a hand in
18:35
Speaker 6: helping with traffic control during and road closures during USA Cycling.
18:40
Speaker 6: You know, those guys go out of their way to
18:42
Speaker 6: help us out. So it was a nice opportunity for
18:44
Speaker 6: me to just say thank you to Sheriff Crawford. Well,
18:46
Speaker 6: and here's the thing about it.
18:47
Speaker 3: Whether it's Regatta, whether it's TBT, whether it's football championships, basketball,
18:53
Speaker 3: nothing happens without those guys, mean absolutely none of it.
18:56
Speaker 6: I mean, CPD, I can't say enough about the Charleston
18:59
Speaker 6: Police Department and Lieutenant haz Lieutenant Oldham you know, those
19:03
Speaker 6: guys and the whole crew, the whole police Department were
19:07
Speaker 6: such a huge asset during cycling, but the Sheriff's department
19:10
Speaker 6: pitched in and helped out too, because that's a massive event.
19:12
Speaker 6: So you know, I think CPD a lot when I
19:15
Speaker 6: see them. Had never had the opportunity to thank Sheriff Crawford,
19:18
Speaker 6: so it was nice to have that opportunity.
19:20
Speaker 3: We do want to mention remind folks that Live on
19:23
Speaker 3: the Levee is going on, but it's not Friday. It's Thursday.
19:27
Speaker 3: It's Tomorrow night, Veterans Night over there, and I'm gonna
19:29
Speaker 3: talk a little bit more about a little bit later
19:31
Speaker 3: on Jim Strawn. Of course, you know mister Live on
19:33
Speaker 3: the Levee. He'll be joining us on the show tomorrow.
19:35
Speaker 3: But it is Thursday night, not Friday.
19:36
Speaker 6: It is and it's in conjunction with an event that
19:38
Speaker 6: the CVB is bringing in called the Great Race. The
19:40
Speaker 6: Great Race is an antique car rally that goes city
19:43
Speaker 6: to city across the country. One of their stops is
19:45
Speaker 6: in Charleston. So the way it'll break out tomorrow, these
19:48
Speaker 6: guys in these really cool old antique cars will be
19:51
Speaker 6: leaving Frankfort, Kentucky in the morning and driving to Charleston
19:55
Speaker 6: in a rally, and they'll get to Charleston, they'll park
19:59
Speaker 6: their cars. They'll be like to pop up car show
20:01
Speaker 6: on Canaul Boulevard where the food trucks normally will would be.
20:05
Speaker 6: The food trucks will be up the side streets Thursday night,
20:08
Speaker 6: but it'll be a pop up car show. Their ceremony
20:11
Speaker 6: starts at four to twenty and then Live on the
20:14
Speaker 6: Levee will kick off at six. But it's gonna be
20:16
Speaker 6: kind of a cool thing to see all these old cars.
20:18
Speaker 6: And then I also want to mention that the West
20:20
Speaker 6: Virginia British Car Club is helping us out as volunteers
20:23
Speaker 6: and they'll have their own car show on the first
20:25
Speaker 6: block of Capitol Street, kind of in front of Sam's
20:27
Speaker 6: and Groove. So if you're a car enthusiast or a
20:31
Speaker 6: Phil Collins enthusiast or both, Thursday night is going to
20:34
Speaker 6: be your night in downtown Charleston. So the Levey Live
20:36
Speaker 6: on the Levee moves from Friday to Thursday this week
20:38
Speaker 6: in partnership with this really cool antique car rally coming
20:41
Speaker 6: through town.
20:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the reference to Phil Collins. There the opening
20:45
Speaker 3: act I guess there Tomorrow night is face Value.
20:48
Speaker 6: Well, actually they're the headline. I believe they're the headliners.
20:50
Speaker 6: I think the opening act is, yes, the Charlie West
20:53
Speaker 6: All Stars and then okay, okay, all right, but Jim,
20:56
Speaker 6: Jim knows that better than I. But the Phil Collins
20:59
Speaker 6: Tribute band.
21:00
Speaker 3: Either way, either either way, it's gonna be a great
21:02
Speaker 3: night of music. And this Face Value, of course, that's
21:04
Speaker 3: a Phil Collins album title. That's where the name comes from. Yep,
21:07
Speaker 3: the album that brought us studio. No, that was no
21:10
Speaker 3: jacket required. Oh you're right, you know you're right in
21:13
Speaker 3: the air tonight, that's right, was the big single, that's right.
21:15
Speaker 3: Don't try to out music, mean, Bernie, listen, I'm not.
21:17
Speaker 3: I certainly wouldn't try to outfilll Collins. You out music me.
21:21
Speaker 3: But now anything passed about ninety two pretty much out.
21:24
Speaker 3: You're right, no jacket when it goes to the eighties stuff.
21:27
Speaker 3: But anyway, this is a great, great band and I
21:30
Speaker 3: actually I'm was gonna talk about this a little bit
21:31
Speaker 3: later on my man Tony the Taylor's help it out
21:34
Speaker 3: with the with the All Star group. He sent me
21:36
Speaker 3: a clip of them doing the Alman Brothers Whipping Post,
21:40
Speaker 3: which is one of its probably my all time favorite
21:42
Speaker 3: Almond Brothers song, and I mean just tearing it up
21:45
Speaker 3: and it's going to be a great concert event tomorrow night.
21:47
Speaker 3: I wanted to go back to this, to this the
21:50
Speaker 3: great race. How did Charleston get this?
21:52
Speaker 6: So you know, we're actively out there trying to recruit
21:57
Speaker 6: different types of events to come to the city. And
22:00
Speaker 6: you go to all these trade shows year after year
22:02
Speaker 6: that are you know, business to business trade shows where
22:05
Speaker 6: you meet event planners and event organizers and you know,
22:08
Speaker 6: maybe that year there's an opportunity to do business, but
22:10
Speaker 6: maybe not, but you make the connection. This is a
22:13
Speaker 6: group that we had met at a trade show several
22:16
Speaker 6: years ago, had talked to them about Charleston, and the
22:18
Speaker 6: first time they had the opportunity to schedule their route
22:21
Speaker 6: to come through Charleston, they got in touch with us. So,
22:24
Speaker 6: you know, these things don't happen in a vacuum, and
22:26
Speaker 6: they don't happen overnight. Sometimes it takes several years of
22:29
Speaker 6: relationship building with a group to to you know, find
22:34
Speaker 6: the opportunity to bring them into town. And our director
22:37
Speaker 6: of sales Rico Paton had met these folks and they
22:41
Speaker 6: connected and here we are, and you know it, Charleston,
22:46
Speaker 6: we have so much experience with closing streets and throwing
22:48
Speaker 6: events that for an event like this, it was almost
22:50
Speaker 6: Taylor made. We've got all the infrastructure there with a
22:52
Speaker 6: hotel and with the levy right there, and you know,
22:55
Speaker 6: we close down the street and we create this festival
22:57
Speaker 6: atmosphere for them. I think it's going to be a
22:59
Speaker 6: great experience for both the participants in the event and
23:02
Speaker 6: the local community to come out and see some cool cars.
23:05
Speaker 3: Talking to Tim Brady from the Charleston CVV to Dave
23:07
Speaker 3: aland showing five Eddie Live is Bronching parted by Morgan
23:09
Speaker 3: and Morgan, America's largest injury law firm. If you're entered
23:12
Speaker 3: visit for the people dot comby had a text here Tim,
23:14
Speaker 3: I said, any idea what time the cars will be
23:16
Speaker 3: coming on sixty four to watch the five to one
23:19
Speaker 3: to one cameras.
23:21
Speaker 6: You know, that's a really good question and I don't
23:23
Speaker 6: want to answer it with incorrect information. So what I'll
23:25
Speaker 6: tell you, Dave is let me get an idea of
23:27
Speaker 6: that and I will pass it along to you later
23:29
Speaker 6: today via text and you can share it with your audience.
23:31
Speaker 3: All right, yeah, man, I tell you I mentioned this
23:33
Speaker 3: on the show. I think it was yesterday, maybe Monday.
23:36
Speaker 3: I was in town Friday night. Of course, we had
23:38
Speaker 3: the launch of Animal Ale, Steve Animal's beer over at
23:41
Speaker 3: five Street that was going on. We had the Rolls
23:43
Speaker 3: on the River Pepperoni Role event, and then Saturday, two
23:46
Speaker 3: thousand or so of our closest friends out on the
23:48
Speaker 3: boulevard with foam with the dome. So many big things
23:53
Speaker 3: going on in Charleston and really the surrounding areas too.
23:57
Speaker 3: I mean two to three events sometimes per weekend.
24:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's sort of by design, and there are
24:04
Speaker 6: some of us that have this conversation on a regular basis.
24:08
Speaker 3: The philosophy used to.
24:09
Speaker 6: Be find your own weekend and plant your flag and
24:12
Speaker 6: then try to make sure that you own that weekend.
24:14
Speaker 6: I think that's a bad strategy from a tourism standpoint.
24:17
Speaker 6: What you want is you want two, three, four different
24:20
Speaker 6: things happening in the city, because then it makes the
24:23
Speaker 6: city more vibrant for someone coming in. If you're coming
24:26
Speaker 6: down from say Cleveland, and you want to spend the
24:28
Speaker 6: weekend in Charleston and Cleveland's a great market for us.
24:30
Speaker 6: It's an emerging market where we're seeing more and more
24:32
Speaker 6: people from that part of Ohio coming down and spending
24:35
Speaker 6: two or three days long weekends here in Charleston. If
24:38
Speaker 6: there are three, four, even five events going on, it's
24:41
Speaker 6: a it's a much easier sell to say, hey, drive
24:44
Speaker 6: three or four hours, come down, spend two or three
24:46
Speaker 6: days and go to all these fun things. So to me,
24:49
Speaker 6: that collaboration makes us a more vibrant and attractive destination.
24:53
Speaker 3: Indeed it does. And look, I know a little something,
24:55
Speaker 3: not as much as you do, but I know a
24:56
Speaker 3: little something about the tourism game and the way that
25:00
Speaker 3: you were able to track things now where people are
25:02
Speaker 3: coming from. These little these little computers we carry in
25:04
Speaker 3: our pocket make it really easy. Plus credit cards, debit
25:07
Speaker 3: cards and things like that. We know where these people
25:09
Speaker 3: are coming from. We know about the amount of people
25:12
Speaker 3: that are coming in from Pittsburgh and d C is
25:14
Speaker 3: a huge market here. I mean, I know, I think
25:16
Speaker 3: wasn't d C the was it DC or Pittsburgh was
25:19
Speaker 3: one of the biggest areas for regatta.
25:20
Speaker 6: Well, you come in consistently Pittsburgh and DC are in
25:23
Speaker 6: the top five for most of our big events, but
25:25
Speaker 6: for Regatta last year, yeah, both were in the top five.
25:29
Speaker 6: We're actually working now on the reporting from USA Cycling.
25:32
Speaker 6: We hope to get that out next week with economic
25:34
Speaker 6: impact and visitor data, and I can tell you that
25:37
Speaker 6: those markets are probably going to show up really strong
25:39
Speaker 6: for our USA Cycling Pro Ro National Championships that we
25:43
Speaker 6: held back in May. And that data is so useful
25:46
Speaker 6: to us because none of us have big, huge budget budgets.
25:49
Speaker 6: We don't have Atlanta or Nashville or or you know,
25:53
Speaker 6: Virginia Beach budgets. But if we know where our visitors
25:57
Speaker 6: are coming from, and then we can apply a fish
25:59
Speaker 6: where the fish are strategy. If we know that people
26:01
Speaker 6: are predisposed to come here from Pittsburgh or Cleveland or
26:04
Speaker 6: Columbus or DC or Philly, then we go spend more
26:07
Speaker 6: money in those markets and get more of those folks.
26:08
Speaker 6: It's so much easier to do that than to try
26:11
Speaker 6: to develop a new market. So that data is incredibly
26:14
Speaker 6: valuable to us because it helps us market better to
26:18
Speaker 6: those tourists coming in.
26:19
Speaker 3: And I don't want you to think we're dismissing the
26:20
Speaker 3: local people either. Because that's still the bulk of what
26:24
Speaker 3: enjoys these events.
26:25
Speaker 6: So that's an interesting point, and this came up last
26:28
Speaker 6: year when we ran the reporting for the USA Cycling event.
26:31
Speaker 6: The number of visitors coming to town significantly increased during
26:36
Speaker 6: that six day period last year, but also the percentage
26:41
Speaker 6: of visitors to locals went down. And when you really
26:45
Speaker 6: start to parse that data, what that shows you is, yeah,
26:47
Speaker 6: we increased our visitation, but we exponentially increased the number
26:51
Speaker 6: of local people that were coming out and engaging with
26:53
Speaker 6: the event and spending money in downtown Charleston while the
26:56
Speaker 6: event was going on. So you really can have it
26:59
Speaker 6: both ways. You really can increase your visitation, but with
27:02
Speaker 6: the right events and the right marketing and the right
27:04
Speaker 6: social media messaging, you can get also more local people
27:07
Speaker 6: to come out and that's where the businesses really start
27:09
Speaker 6: to feel that impact. And I can tell you anecdotally
27:11
Speaker 6: there were some great things that happened during Cycling this year.
27:15
Speaker 6: One of the breweries downtown Fife Street that you mentioned
27:18
Speaker 6: had their single best afternoon shift ever. The four to
27:22
Speaker 6: ten shift on Friday night of the USA Cycling Race
27:25
Speaker 6: was the absolute best single shift that they've ever had.
27:29
Speaker 6: In their history. Short Story Pizza ran out of pizza
27:32
Speaker 6: crust like three different days. BlackSheep had to close early
27:37
Speaker 6: one day because they just run out of food. I mean,
27:39
Speaker 6: you start hearing those things and you start understanding that's
27:42
Speaker 6: the true impact of these events. Yeah, we talked about
27:44
Speaker 6: hotel rooms. Yeah we talk about visitor spend. But when
27:47
Speaker 6: real locally owned businesses are realizing that kind of business,
27:52
Speaker 6: that's what it's about.
27:53
Speaker 3: We talk about heads and beds all the time, but
27:55
Speaker 3: it's also nice when the heads that live in Kanawha
27:58
Speaker 3: County and the surrounding areas business owners could benefit from
28:01
Speaker 3: these things as well.
28:01
Speaker 6: And that's our that's really our goal. You know, our
28:04
Speaker 6: goal is to this. It's to bring in the it's
28:07
Speaker 6: to bring in the events that drive visitation, but also
28:09
Speaker 6: create that robust local economy where people are out spending money.
28:13
Speaker 6: They're in five Street, they're in Short Story, They're they're
28:16
Speaker 6: at Pies and Pints, they're at Adelphia. They're spending money.
28:20
Speaker 6: Whether their visitors are local, that money is important to
28:23
Speaker 6: those local businesses.
28:24
Speaker 3: Dave Allen showing five eighty Live is brought to you
28:26
Speaker 3: part by a Bridge Valley offering custom tailored trainings to
28:29
Speaker 3: supply a skilled graduates and apprenticeships for your company. Visit
28:32
Speaker 3: Bridge Valley dot edu. Tim schedule starting to drop for TBT.
28:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, teams have been announced, schedules starting to drop,
28:40
Speaker 6: and I did want to make sure that we talked
28:41
Speaker 6: a little bit about that before I got out of
28:43
Speaker 6: here today. The both the Herd that and the Best
28:47
Speaker 6: Virginia rosters have been announced and in that region heard
28:51
Speaker 6: that is the two seed. Best Virginia is the three
28:53
Speaker 6: seed UH, and they will both open play on Friday,
28:59
Speaker 6: July eighteen. Heard that place at six. Best Virginia plays
29:03
Speaker 6: at eight, and if they both win, they would face
29:05
Speaker 6: each other on Sunday, July twentieth at five p m.
29:09
Speaker 6: And that game will also be broadcast on FS one,
29:14
Speaker 6: and then the regional championship would be on Tuesday, July
29:18
Speaker 6: twenty second. And there is a model where if ticket
29:21
Speaker 6: sales are strong enough in Charleston that the next round
29:24
Speaker 6: could also be hosted in Charleston. It's competitive among regions
29:27
Speaker 6: based on ticket sales, so if they have higher ticket
29:30
Speaker 6: sales than the next region over those that next round
29:34
Speaker 6: of games would be played here. But both teams play Friday,
29:37
Speaker 6: could potentially play each other Sunday, and then one of
29:39
Speaker 6: them could be playing in the championship on Tuesday, July twentieth.
29:43
Speaker 3: And a couple of years ago, when the TBT first
29:46
Speaker 3: came to town, I guess maybe I miscalculated because I thought, well,
29:50
Speaker 3: it sounds like a neat little event, you know, WVU,
29:52
Speaker 3: Marshall people kind of going back and forth as we
29:54
Speaker 3: like to do from time to time. And then but
29:56
Speaker 3: then I saw the interest in this and I thought, Okay,
29:58
Speaker 3: I greatly underestimated how popular this event is.
30:01
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it actually stands to reason because you know,
30:03
Speaker 6: with no pro team here in West Virginia, we cling
30:06
Speaker 6: to our collegiate teams. You know, Marshall and WVU are
30:10
Speaker 6: our pro teams. So when you get those alumni and
30:13
Speaker 6: and well, it was a perfect storm really for Best
30:16
Speaker 6: Virginia that first year as well, because you know, all
30:18
Speaker 6: these guys from the from the sort of the Golden Age,
30:21
Speaker 6: the Glory years that had come back to play. You know,
30:24
Speaker 6: they almost have mythical standing.
30:26
Speaker 3: In our state.
30:26
Speaker 6: Some of these guys, guys like John Flowers, guys like
30:29
Speaker 6: Kevin Jones, their they're cult figures as much as they
30:33
Speaker 6: are former athletes, So for folks to have the opportunity
30:37
Speaker 6: to see them come out and play competitively again, it
30:39
Speaker 6: was really exciting and it was such a great atmosphere
30:41
Speaker 6: in the in the coliseum that night when the two
30:44
Speaker 6: teams played each other. And we're just hoping to recreate
30:47
Speaker 6: that uh here in July.
30:49
Speaker 3: Uh do you want to mention regatta it's coming up
30:51
Speaker 3: next week where we said something about that. Yeah, so
30:54
Speaker 3: a couple of boats are coming in. Yeah, we all
30:56
Speaker 3: spend a lot of time next week talking about that
30:59
Speaker 3: with the mayor and with all the yeah there's involved
31:00
Speaker 3: with Forgatta.
31:01
Speaker 6: But I know you have to keep it a close
31:02
Speaker 6: eye on that as well. Sure we track a lot
31:04
Speaker 6: of visitation during Regatta.
31:06
Speaker 5: Uh.
31:06
Speaker 6: The economic impact to our city is is incredibly significant
31:11
Speaker 6: and and it's a it's a time for us to
31:14
Speaker 6: show off our city that kind of event with four
31:17
Speaker 6: days of really great live music and all of the
31:20
Speaker 6: other activities that go along with it. And again that
31:23
Speaker 6: goes back to that notion of you know, Regatta is
31:26
Speaker 6: sort of different in the sense that it's a whole
31:28
Speaker 6: bunch of different events under one umbrella. But you want
31:31
Speaker 6: to talk about a great time to come to Charleston.
31:33
Speaker 6: If you're from somewhere in Ohio or Pennsylvania or North Carolina,
31:37
Speaker 6: Kentucky and you want to you want to get away
31:39
Speaker 6: for a weekend. What a great time to come. You
31:41
Speaker 6: can see free live music of an incredibly high caliber,
31:45
Speaker 6: uh for four nights in a row. Uh, You've got
31:48
Speaker 6: all this great food, all this, all these other great activities.
31:51
Speaker 2: Uh.
31:51
Speaker 6: Such a great time for our city. And uh, you know,
31:54
Speaker 6: you can't say enough about the the vision and leadership
31:57
Speaker 6: of Mayor Goodwin and her staff and and bringing that
32:01
Speaker 6: back and creating this showcase for our city. I mean,
32:05
Speaker 6: it's it's hard to put into words. I want to
32:09
Speaker 6: go back to the TVT just for a moment. Something
32:11
Speaker 6: else that is of interest? Is there is another because
32:14
Speaker 6: we've focused over the years on Heard That and Best Virginia.
32:18
Speaker 6: But I would be remiss if I didn't mention my
32:20
Speaker 6: coworker on Metro News Midday, my co host Amanda Bear
32:23
Speaker 6: in the Pride of Ohio University as a Marshall person.
32:27
Speaker 6: It's very hard for me to say that, but I'm
32:29
Speaker 6: just going to go ahead and say the Bobcats they
32:30
Speaker 6: got a team this year too, and they're called the
32:34
Speaker 6: Court Street.
32:34
Speaker 3: Kings, So there's a little bit more. You know, Athens
32:37
Speaker 3: is not that farm. We're a little bit more regional
32:39
Speaker 3: flavor in this as well, other than just Marshall and Wu.
32:42
Speaker 6: You know, I can only name one former Ou basketball
32:45
Speaker 6: player and Gary Trent went there. Yeah, yeah, the only
32:49
Speaker 6: and I'm sure he's not playing, so I won't know
32:51
Speaker 6: any of these guys. But all jokes aside. I mean,
32:53
Speaker 6: you think about how close Athens is. So that's a
32:56
Speaker 6: marketing strategy for us as well. From a social media
32:59
Speaker 6: and digital standpoint. We're pushing ticket sales messaging to that
33:03
Speaker 6: area of Ohio because it's a short drive and you
33:06
Speaker 6: can come down and see your alumni team play. So yeah,
33:10
Speaker 6: I mean having a team And now that's what we
33:12
Speaker 6: talked about with TBT as an organization. Here are the
33:16
Speaker 6: markets where we think you should try to find teams
33:18
Speaker 6: to bring to Charleston. And they were really great to
33:20
Speaker 6: work with. And that's why you see this Ohio University
33:22
Speaker 6: team in Charleston, because we sold them on the fact
33:25
Speaker 6: that if you get them here, we can market to
33:28
Speaker 6: their fans and their fan base and their alumni base
33:31
Speaker 6: because of geographic proximity. So a lot of thought went
33:34
Speaker 6: into that.
33:34
Speaker 3: All right, before we let you go, let's kind of
33:36
Speaker 3: recap what we've hit TBT, we've did regatta, but let's
33:40
Speaker 3: think short term and let's think about the Great Race
33:43
Speaker 3: and live on the levee tomorrow night. Ye six and
33:45
Speaker 3: two acts six is one. I think seven thirty is
33:48
Speaker 3: the other. Ye and again Jim charl will be on
33:51
Speaker 3: the show tomorrow to talk about that with us. But
33:54
Speaker 3: this Great Race, let's hit that, yeah, and the Great Race.
33:56
Speaker 3: Their ceremony starts at four to twenty tomorrow afternoon, where
34:00
Speaker 3: they'll have the Riverside Color Guard is going to present
34:03
Speaker 3: the colors. We'll have seen the national Anthem by local
34:06
Speaker 3: musician Brittany Maguire who's absolutely incredible vocalist, and then they'll
34:11
Speaker 3: have some awards for their cars and then the car
34:15
Speaker 3: show will be lined up along Canall Boulevard then tomorrow
34:19
Speaker 3: afternoon with Levy starting at six. But all of the
34:21
Speaker 3: Great Race stuff, this antique car rally, think Cannonball Run,
34:25
Speaker 3: but all in antique cars, more antique cars. Less Terry
34:30
Speaker 3: Bradshaw coming into Charleston from Frankfort, Kentucky and lining up
34:36
Speaker 3: on the boulevard in this pop up car shows. It's
34:38
Speaker 3: going to be a lot of fun and we hope
34:40
Speaker 3: that folks come out. And again it's Thursday, not Friday.
34:43
Speaker 3: This week for Live on the Levee. All right, I
34:45

Speaker 3: six it is Face Value, the Tribute to Phil Collins.
41:12
Speaker 3: At seven thirty the Charlie West All Stars. And I
41:15
Speaker 3: mentioned this earlier and I gotta hand it to my
41:18
Speaker 3: man Tony the Taylor, because he sent me a clip
41:22
Speaker 3: this morning and he said, you got to listen to this,
41:25
Speaker 3: and it was the Charlie West All Stars, of which
41:27
Speaker 3: he is a big part of that particular group, and
41:30
Speaker 3: they were doing, as I mentioned earlier, Whipping Post, which
41:33
Speaker 3: is my favorite Alman Brothers song, and Shla was just
41:37
Speaker 3: killing it on that song. I mean, that's the worth.
41:40
Speaker 3: If they're going to do that song tomorrow night, it's
41:42
Speaker 3: worth brave than the heat to come down for Live
41:44
Speaker 3: on the Levee tomorrow night. So, and speaking to Tony
41:47
Speaker 3: the Taylor, sponsor of the text line, I got to
41:50
Speaker 3: give the big guy his props. Today is Tony's birthday.
41:54
Speaker 3: Tony is sixty years old. Now he'll tell you parts
41:58
Speaker 3: of his body is live, probably more like eighty five
42:02
Speaker 3: or ninety. But just saying, if you are out and
42:05
Speaker 3: about today and you have an opportunity to stop by
42:08
Speaker 3: Virginia Street and seek your head in West Virginia's finance
42:12
Speaker 3: Men store, Tony the Taylor tell mister Parrenzino, happy birthday,
42:15
Speaker 3: but don't tell him it's from me because I don't
42:17
Speaker 3: want him to think I actually like him. So happy birthday,
42:20
Speaker 3: big guy. Let me see you got a text here, TIX,
42:23
Speaker 3: says Dave Morrissey. What's board members voted on? We're talking
42:27
Speaker 3: about the state school board. That's great. We want Public
42:30
Speaker 3: Service Commission members and other appointed positions from the governor
42:34
Speaker 3: voted on and to keep religion in the church, not
42:36
Speaker 3: at our schools. Get a life people. Now this all
42:39
Speaker 3: has to do with yesterday the governor at eleven o'clock
42:43
Speaker 3: yesterday morning, had a press conference in Beckley at Tamarack
42:46
Speaker 3: and he announced this lawsuit that's being filed by a
42:51
Speaker 3: mother of a young girl, a young well I think
42:55
Speaker 3: it was a young girl, young student regardless, in Raleigh
42:58
Speaker 3: County that wants a religious exemption for her kid and
43:06
Speaker 3: he is taking it to court in order to get it.
43:08
Speaker 3: And again there's been this big battle over this, as
43:10
Speaker 3: you well know. The Governor issued an executive order saying
43:14
Speaker 3: such legislature didn't agree, and then there's been a battle
43:18
Speaker 3: now between the state school Board and including state schools
43:23
Speaker 3: from Pintendant Michelle Blatt, and also with Governor Morrissey. Now
43:27
Speaker 3: Morrissey had that the Governor did had that press conference
43:29
Speaker 3: there yesterday, and I'm sure you heard the audio. We
43:32
Speaker 3: played a lot of it on the area yesterday and
43:35
Speaker 3: he referred to unelected bureaucrats talking about the State Board
43:39
Speaker 3: of Education. And we knew it was going to go
43:41
Speaker 3: to Court. It was just a question of when and where,
43:43
Speaker 3: and it's definitely on its way to court. And the
43:49
Speaker 3: governor has taken issue his words with the fact that
43:52
Speaker 3: the state school board these are not elected positions. Also
43:55
Speaker 3: they're nine year positions, which is I mean, a tenure
43:59
Speaker 3: on any board of nine years anything that's not a
44:03
Speaker 3: Supreme court is pretty long, especially considering their unelected positions.
44:07
Speaker 3: So this battle is going to continue. The boys to
44:09
Speaker 3: talk Line are going to get into it, especially at
44:11
Speaker 3: ten o'clockable. We'll go back over it during Metro News
44:14
Speaker 3: midday as well. We're going to take a break and
44:18

46:54
Speaker 3: zero zero rate. There was a story that broke late
46:57
Speaker 3: last night. Uh, and we're keeping a close eye on
47:00
Speaker 3: it and it really it's not from this area, but
47:03
Speaker 3: it's a member of the legislature. So it's important to
47:05
Speaker 3: us all. It's a delegate out of Berkeley County. Now,
47:07
Speaker 3: Katie Coin wrote the story for West Virginia Watch the Delevgate.
47:11
Speaker 3: A delegate's name is Ian Masters, and first thing I
47:14
Speaker 3: thought was a name like that. He sounds like maybe
47:16
Speaker 3: he should be playing bass for Jethro Tull. But anyway,
47:20
Speaker 3: there was an anti Semitic remark being linked to him,
47:27
Speaker 3: and he is denying it. The comment was made on
47:32
Speaker 3: an Instagram account attributed to a profile that was listed
47:36
Speaker 3: as no Quarters Master. Now this all goes back on
47:41
Speaker 3: this Instagram account, and I'll be the first admit I
47:43
Speaker 3: don't know the first thing about Instagram. I do X,
47:46
Speaker 3: I do Facebook, not an Instagram person, but I got
47:50
Speaker 3: to get there eventually. I got to get me one
47:51
Speaker 3: of them tiktoks too at some point. But this profile
47:56
Speaker 3: goes back to April, and it was about Dave Portenoy.
47:59
Speaker 3: Now I know well who. Dave Portnoy is a sports guy.
48:02
Speaker 3: He's the founder of Barstool Sports. And the post about
48:05
Speaker 3: Portenoy said and quoting, now, Portnoy is not white. He's
48:09
Speaker 3: a Jew. We never claim them. And that's why he's short,
48:13
Speaker 3: tiny and weak. End quote Now for his part, Delegate
48:17
Speaker 3: Masters is denying that I would urge you to go
48:21
Speaker 3: over to uh West Virginia watch and read Katie Coin's
48:24
Speaker 3: story about this. This this first broke well. I got
48:30
Speaker 3: a little inside information that it was that there was
48:32
Speaker 3: about to be some news coming. I didn't know what
48:34
Speaker 3: it was. And late last night, as papal here is
48:36
Speaker 3: getting ready to go to bed, the story, I got
48:40
Speaker 3: the story. Uh, I didn't get I read Katie Coin's story,
48:43
Speaker 3: I should say, and it's very problematic now in her
48:46
Speaker 3: story uh, and you can go and read it for
48:49
Speaker 3: yourself at West Virginia wats she u. She says that
48:53
Speaker 3: Delegate Master says he doesn't even have an active Instagram account,
48:57
Speaker 3: but apparently it's not hard to find out when if
49:01
Speaker 3: you want to find out who's behind an actual social
49:05
Speaker 3: media account, it's really not hard. And the evidence, I
49:08
Speaker 3: will say, does not look good against Delegate Masters at
49:12
Speaker 3: this point. Now, for their part, State Democratic Party issuing
49:16
Speaker 3: a statement last night, State Democratic Party Cherry and delegate
49:18
Speaker 3: from here in Kenon County, Mike Pushkin is asking, and
49:22
Speaker 3: I don't have the exact quote in front of me,
49:23
Speaker 3: but basically what he's saying to Governor Morrissey is to show,
49:27
Speaker 3: and I think the term he used was moral character
49:29
Speaker 3: and asking for Delegate Master's resignation. And again, he's a
49:33
Speaker 3: Republican delegate out of Berkeley County. Now I can tell
49:37
Speaker 3: you I'm going to get into the story a little
49:38
Speaker 3: bit more on Metro News Midday later today. I would
49:42
Speaker 3: love to have Delegate Masters on the show, but obviously,
49:46
Speaker 3: with a situation like this, he's not saying a whole
49:48
Speaker 3: lot at this point, and I understand that. But I'm
49:50
Speaker 3: going to at least myself in the production crew, We're
49:53
Speaker 3: going to actually reach out to Delegate Masters about being
49:56
Speaker 3: on the show today to see what he has to
49:57
Speaker 3: say about it. And we also so may have a
50:01
Speaker 3: representative from West Virginia watch on the show to talk
50:03
Speaker 3: about it. But I like to, you know, I like
50:05
Speaker 3: to try to present both sides, and somebody's accused of something,
50:08
Speaker 3: I like to give them an opportunity to defend themselves.
50:11
Speaker 3: So it's kind of problematic if it is I mean,
50:14
Speaker 3: in my eyes, in my mind, if it is true
50:17
Speaker 3: that this was linked to him, and that's an if,
50:20
Speaker 3: then that is very problematic language coming from a city
50:24
Speaker 3: member of the West Virginia Legislature no matter what party
50:28
Speaker 3: that they are in. So that's kind of where we
50:33
Speaker 3: are on the story at this point.
50:35
Speaker 2: TJ.
50:36
Speaker 3: Meadows will be hosting talk Line today. Do I understand
50:39
Speaker 3: your guys are going on the road tomorrow?
50:41
Speaker 6: We are.
50:42
Speaker 15: We'll be at West Virginia Wesleyan for the West Virginia
50:45
Speaker 15: Scholar Program Award presentation tomorrow. Will name that West Virginia Scholar.
50:50
Speaker 15: They'll get a full ride here is she. We'll get
50:53
Speaker 15: a full ride to West Virginia Wesleyan. That's room, board, tuition,
50:56
Speaker 15: the whole nine. So it's a big celebration.
50:59
Speaker 3: Tomorrow.
50:59
Speaker 15: We do talk Line live from ten to noon and
51:02
Speaker 15: then we'll gather, have some lunch and go forward with
51:06
Speaker 15: the awards presentation.
51:07
Speaker 3: So it's a big deal.
51:08
Speaker 15: Think about it. Private institution, great institution like West Virginia
51:13
Speaker 15: wesley and getting a full ride, all expenses paid, no
51:16
Speaker 15: college debt hanging over your head.
51:17
Speaker 3: That's a big deal. Indeed it is, and you guys
51:20
Speaker 3: will be there tomorrow. That's that's always an interesting show
51:23
Speaker 3: to listen to. You know, Hobby's done it in the
51:25
Speaker 3: past and when you talk to those students and that
51:28
Speaker 3: again one is going to get a full ride. I'll
51:30
Speaker 3: say this, And you're a parent, I'm not. There's a
51:32
Speaker 3: whole lot of there's going to be a happy mommy
51:34
Speaker 3: and daddy there too. They're going to be more excited
51:38
Speaker 3: than the kids are. Probably it's expensive, that's that's for sure.
51:42
Speaker 15: So to be able to see your child do that,
51:43
Speaker 15: and to be able to if you have saved any money,
51:46
Speaker 15: to be able to use that for other it's going
51:47
Speaker 15: to feel pretty good.
51:48
Speaker 3: Right. Maybe give it to the re all right, quick
51:49
Speaker 3: text here, because I'd like to get all the texts
51:51
Speaker 3: and text says guessing the people that are outraged my
51:53
Speaker 3: master's comments are the very same who supported the free
51:56
Speaker 3: Palestine nuts and the openly proud socialists Anti just elected
52:01
Speaker 3: in New York City. Well he was the person in
52:03
Speaker 3: New York City was elected that this was their primary
52:06
Speaker 3: and so at New York City, writes Danny Jones, and
52:09
Speaker 3: I talked about this week. It's going to be interesting
52:11
Speaker 3: because you got the city mayor Eric Adams, who is
52:14
Speaker 3: running I guess as an independent now in the fun
52:18
Speaker 3: you yeah, maybe Cuomo, who got beat yesterday, says he
52:21
Speaker 3: is probably going to run in the fall as a
52:23
Speaker 3: riot in or something. Anyway, what's on the show today,
52:25
Speaker 3: I may move up there and get my name on
52:26
Speaker 3: the battle why not?
52:27
Speaker 11: Why not?
52:28
Speaker 2: So?
52:28
Speaker 3: Coming up a ten of six Roger Hanshaw.
52:30
Speaker 15: We will ask him about Delegate Masters and see if
52:33
Speaker 15: he has an opinion for him yet or what steps
52:35
Speaker 15: he will or won't take.
52:36
Speaker 6: We'll get into that.
52:38
Speaker 15: Also, the US Department of Energy Secretary on the show today.
52:42
Speaker 15: We did a pre recorded interview with him. And let
52:44
